Thanks Dumitru,
I didn't noticed that the patch was applied while I was typing my
message :D

Overall I think it's fine if it stays as it was proposed by Ales. I
just wanted  to raise a very fringe concern that perhaps using two
separate UDP servers could mask some underlying issue and if there's a
way to consistently reproduce failures of this test, I'd be happy to
take a look at it.
